nForce 680i LT is a trimmed down version of nForce 680i. Both chipsets have basically the same performance, but the 680i LT suffers from:
  • Triple PCIe x16 Card Support
  • Dual-LAN
  • DDR2-1200 Support
Apparently ASUS has made a board with the same features as the 680i, since all the limitations of 680i LT are presented in P5NT WS.

this board is not aimed at gamers. check out the 64bit PCI slot which is even accessible when SLI is used...

eVGA had already released LT. Is that what you are thinking of?
